The Buccaneers are once again without their top draft pick. Calijah Kancey re-injured his calf that held him out for most of training camp. After a strong start against the Minnesota Vikings, Kancey missed the second half because of that calf. Now, his status is in doubt for this week - and likely many weeks beyond.
Another disappointing appearance on the injury report is star rookie corner Christian Izien, who came up with a big interception against Minnesota, who missed practice with a concussion. Certainly something to monitor moving forward this week as the Bucs will have to wait and see if he clears concussion protocol or if their starting nickel corner will miss the home opener.
